100 mph winds and such dry brush during the rainy season is not normal.

This fire happening should come as no surprise, but the speed, scale, and timing of this was from a set of freak weather conditions.

Rainfall is becoming more sporadic and heavier when it comes, weather systems are going far from areas they normally reach - last year had dozens of combinations of record setting freak conditions, and the unprecedented fires, floods, and winds to go with it.

It's becoming constant - somewhere in the world is experiencing conditions they never expected to face at any given time... The crazy winds are what made this fire what it is instead of what they were due for
